What is the success rate of LL

Edit Post

It interest me to actually know this but while I’ve been on this forum I’ve spoken to many people who have done Limb lengthening and I’ve only ever heard about one having a bad experience with it the majority of people here seem to have successfully undergone LL and I’m curious to actually who on average what the success rate is, when I say success rate I mean basically being pain free and being able to be active in sports like running etc and if you know could you let me know how long it takes to be able to run again most people say around 2 years just want to know if that’s true as well thanks in advance.

That’s ok I was just curious and thanks in advance if you do get some information on this

I’ve heard some bad things about a Spanish doctor can’t get his name in my head though

Honestly bro I do feel for you it seems like the safest is paley just going by the doctors you named they seem to be vary common on this forum

Yea unfortunately for me I’m in the U.K. 😣 I don’t think we even have an LL doctor so I’d need to get a visa and to travel etc still though here’s hoping I win the lottery soon 😂

I don’t think he’s saying that I think he ment odds are definitely better with the more expensive/ experienced doctors

Realistically I’d say the only ones that come to mind is paley etc
